Start by changing the -2x to plus a negative 2x.
So we have 6x² + 3y² + 4y² - 2x.
Note that 3y² and 4y² are like terms because
they are exactly alike except for their coefficients.
So 3y² + 4y² simplifies to 7y².
Although 6x² and -2x look similar, they are not like terms.
So our final answer is 6x² + 7y² + -2x.
